Get an inside look at the collaborative strategies and zany adventures of StoryForge Productions, a California-based multimedia production start-up, in this Q&A with founders Karyn Keene and Rachel Beck.

Elaine K. Phillips wrote a big fat thesis on transmedia storytelling for her MA in Publishing at Oxford Brookes University, but she prefers to pen magazine features and adventure tales. She finished her first (bad, bad, bad) science-fiction novel at eleven and is currently writing an alternate history sci-fi novel that weaves together the fifteenth-century Plantagenet, Ashikaga, and Zhu dynasties. She’d love to chat with you about new media, history, or tech via Twitter (@elainekphillips) or her website.
